      Book Description

      He is commemorated throughout the world in museums and statuary, on street signs and in gift shops; even more prominently, Winston Churchill's monumental presence persists in shelves upon shelves of biographies and histories, dozens of which were written by Churchill himself and have been international bestsellers. While political figures are routinely the objects of intense posthumous scrutiny, few have achieved such pervasive and ongoing influence, and fewer still have so adeptly orchestrated their own place in history. Man of the Century is the often surprising story of how Winston Churchill, in the last years of his life, carefully crafted his reputation for posterity, and it reveals him as the twentieth century's pioneering, and perhaps most gifted, "spin doctor." It is also a far-ranging account not only of Churchill's continuing impact on British, American, and European politics, but also of the powerful legacy of his vision of a common destiny and heritage for English-speaking peoples around the world.

      In the first book to examine the full scope of Churchill's postwar influence, John Ramsden draws on fresh material and extensive research from three continents to argue that the statesman's force of personality and romantic, imperial notion of Britain have contributed directly to many political events of the last several decades -- including American involvement in Vietnam and the role of the Anglo-American alliance in promoting and protecting a certain vision of world order. Man of the Century captures the complexities of Churchill's story and political legacy as well as the spirit and irreverent power of the statesman who became a modern legend.

      3 out of 5 stars Mold History through the Sheer Force of Your Personality.......2006-07-17

      John Ramsden wrote a book of uneven quality about Winston Churchill's legend since 1945. Ramsden clearly does not target readers with no prior, in-depth knowledge of this towering presence. In some chapters, Ramsden gets bogged down in detail that, over time, annoys readers. Ramsden should have written shorter chapters about Churchill and his relationship with countries such as Australia and New Zealand. Enumerating a large number of streets, pubs, parks, etc. named after Churchill in these different countries does not add much to the narrative. Ramsden is at his best in Part One when he focuses on the controversial personality of Churchill. Churchill understood very well that he had to write his side of the story to mold the minds of his contemporaries and remain relevant to future generations. Churchill has outshined most other memorable men and women in this enterprise. Many people around the world still want to claim a piece of Churchill by quoting him in a wide variety of settings. The ultimate power of Churchill lies in the richness of his parley and writings which can still stir emotions when reason fails to mobilize for decisive action.

      4 out of 5 stars Time was Wrong.......2005-07-13

      Notwithstanding Time magazine's famous judgement, I think Winston Churchill was the man of the last century. So does John Ramsden, who has written a book that will be deeply appreciated by those with a lively interest in Churchill's impact on politics and culture following World War II and up to the present. The text is somewhat uneven in that the author meanders between quite keen insights on important issues, such as Churchill's role toward what became the EU, and the more dubious, such as listing the various streets named for the great man in Australia. While a first time reader on Churchill should read a good biography like that of Sir Roy Jenkins, this book will be worthy of purchase by any true acolyte of this great, and still relevant, figure of history.

      5 out of 5 stars A new way to look at Winston.......2005-03-16

      THis is not a biography of Winston Churchill. This is something new and fascinating. Here we have a text that seeks to examine Churchill the legend, the man, the history of him and his relationship with the english speaking world since 1945. Chapters include investigations of Churchills funeral, 'operation Hope Not' and Churchill 'failure' to lose World War Two, the Finest Hour. Here we learn of Churchill's FUlton speech and also his famous relationship with America, as an honorary citizen no less.

      Most interesting are chapters on Churchills relationship with Australia and Canada as well as new anecdotes about why Castro and Guliani, who agree on nothing, both are admirers of Winston. This book also examines the many biographers of Churchill, including Manchester, Gilbert and Jenkins.

      THe conlusion is that Churchill is not simply the 'man of the century' but perhaps of the next one as well. This is a tour de force and every Churchill admirer must read it, in fact anyone interested in histiography or in the western egnlish speaking world since 1945 will enjoy this. Every conceivable person stars in this cast, from Isiah Berlin to Dean Acheson and Robert Menzies. The English speaking world will enjoy this book about one of its greatest champions.

      A last note, the chapter on Churchill and Europe and Churchill and the Irish are extraordinary in their new takes on the British and their relationship with these two neighboors.

      5 out of 5 stars A must for the Churchill admirer, student, or skeptic.......2003-12-06

      Sir Winston Churchill had no shortage of admirers among the generation that knew, or saw, him during his Finest Hour, 1940-1941. And they have remained legion among later generations. But in the wake of the September 11 attacks, many people -- and especially many politicians in need of stirring rhetoric -- have turned to WSC again, attracted to his reputation, perhaps, more than to the strict details of his long and eventful life.

      John Ramsden's fascinating book is an analysis of how Churchill's reputation was born, was consciously shaped by the man himself, and how it has evolved in the years since his death. The bulk of the analysis focuses on the five English-Speaking nations, though Europe is included as well. Another large section looks at the famous "Iron Curtain" or "Sinews of Peace" speech at Fulton, Missouri, in 1946, and how it -- precisely as WSC intended -- transformed the world's view of him from heroic-but-passé war leader to very-much-active statesman, politician, and geopolitical strategist.

      A final section, which I found the most interesting, analyses many of the key Churchill biographies written over the years, from Randolph Churchill and Martin Gilbert's official biography, to Lord Moran, to Manchester, to Roy Jenkins' "Churchill: A Biography" (2001), which Ramsden predicts will remain "the authoritative single text for years to come" (p. 545). Ramsden also seems to have counted every Churchill memorial statue, street, pub, and park bench in the world. And while a catalog of these things could easily become tiresome, this author skillfully keeps it from doing so.

      This is no small accomplishment. People who write about Churchill are forced to deal with the sheer immensity of his life. Many respond by being prolix, or trite, or they oversimplify, or caricaturize, or fall into either blind hero-worship or equally unnuanced destructiveness. Ramsden does none of these. One way he manages this, of course, is by being fairly sparing of the details of most of WSC's life. Thus, this book will make a lot more sense to someone who already has a fairly good understanding of who the man was, what he did, and when. Another way is by filling his text with stories about, and insights into, Churchill and his contemporaries that are nearly all some combination of fascinating, entertaining, and memorable. Thus, while he's dealing with some Grand Themes, the author surrounds them with a bodyguard of anecdotes that in and of themselves almost guarantee this will be a fun read for any Churchill student or fan.

      Significantly, Ramsden is not an *uncritical* admirer of Churchill, though he is clearly an admirer. The Winston we encounter here is not sugarcoated, and some of his unattractive features do come through. That and the mountainous research on display are two signs of Ramsden's chops as a historian.

      Finally, as a many-year member of The Churchill Centre and its preceding organization the International Churchill Societies, I should note and commend Ramsden's coverage of this worthy organization. Far from the worshipful society of star-struck fans it is sometimes painted to be, Ramsden shows the CC to be a reputable and respectable association of clear-eyed admirers of the man of the century, warts and all.

      I am always amazed at the new aspects or corners of Churchill's life and impact that people can find to write books about. This one, no question, was a book that needed to be written. And for any Churchill student or fan, it's one that needs to be read.

        Book Description

        Big & Tall Chronicles is a revealing and powerful, yet surprisingly comical account of Gary Marino's lifelong battle with obesity. It details how growing up overweight in America negatively affects an individual. Anecdotes demonstrate how Mr. Marino's weight problem put him in situations or "misadventures" that he normally would not have experienced, and offers a brutally honest look into the self-destructive mindset that modern day food addicts go through, and the frustrations and downfalls that occur while trying to live a normal life.

        The passionate soul-searching that ultimately pushed Marino's inner button and led him to a healing path resonates with a bittersweet familiarity for anyone recovering from an addictive disorder. Marino shares the knowledge and insights he has gained with the help of his "Dream Team" of experts, including a sports medicine specialist, a nutritionist, a personal trainer, and a therapist specializing in weight-loss issues.

        Truthful, educational and soul baring with a humorous undercurrent, Big & Tall Chronicles may very well be the breakthrough personal journey and addiction recovery book millions of Americans have been waiting for...to dig deep into themselves and fix themselves once and for all.

          2 out of 5 stars Can't compete with the competition, wouldn't buy again.......2007-09-16

          This book has a number of flaws that make it less than a joy to use. The instructions are competent enough, but given the number of books available and the basic nature of the sewing, this should be expected. Even so, I would have given more detail to the diagrams to show what exactly the written instructions are talking about. The small section on how to take your own measurements was helpful in its simplicity. But I didn't like much else about the book: the projects were generally unappealing, especially the jeans curtain that is very much a niche interest, if you see what I mean. If only a handful of projects can be presented in an introductory sewing book, why can't they be the most useful and attractive ones for a general audience? I find the book visually offputting, too, with all sorts of rather unpleasant color tones on the pages, and frumpy fabric choices. The author knows sewing, but her book completely lacks esthetic appeal. If this were a manual on fixing your printer, I wouldn't care. But learning to sew requires you to spend time in the company of the book. Sewing is a creative endeavor involving color, texture, and design. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but in any case, it counts. This is not a book to stoke one's interest. Finally, entire chapter-heading pages are taken up with useless photos above ludicrously inappropriate motivational blurbs. This is not a heal-yourself self-help book and heaven knows why such over-the-top statements were considered necessary. Frankly embarrassing. On the other hand, the "motivational memo" insets were mainly not motivating at all, just technical bits of advice. That's fine, but "quick memo" would have been better. The book is less than it should be while trying hard to be something it shouldn't.

          4 out of 5 stars Good starter book.......2007-09-12

          This is a good book. I wish it had a little more information in it, but it covers the basics of beginning sewing very well.

          This book is very easy to understand and is great for you if you are just beginning to sew. You get all the information you need to start sewing! I found this book easy to read, very informative and overall I loved it!

          5 out of 5 stars Best Teaching Book Ever.......2007-03-18

          I grew up watching my mom sew, but I never learned how myself. This book, in Nancy's wonderful teaching style brought me past watching to doing. I'm not making clothes yet, but I've ventured into many home projects and am becoming more confident all the time. I use this book often as a reference- a great place to go to recount all the steps for a successful project. Nancy covers all the basics that gives the foundation for learning to sew & have fun doing it & doing it well.

          5 out of 5 stars Perfect Book for both Beginners and Experienced Seamstresses.......2007-02-05

          This book has really helped refresh my memory. It is easy to read. The explanations and directions are clear and concise.

              You know you've come to the end of your reviewing rope when you can't think of anything to say about a sex manual. But, well, here I am.

              It's an enjoyable book, don't get me wrong-- a romp with Annie Sprinkle is always fun. Annie Sprinkle has a perspective on sex that most of us will never achieve (no matter how much we'd like to), and her insights are most welcome. But the book never grabbed me, never slapped me around and said "you must read me now," ending up taking me almost eleven weeks to finish.

              There's a good deal to like here. The subject, obviously, is sexual self-help for those whose love lives have taken a turn for the boring, and as long as you're willing to buy into some of the more new age-y techniques recommended, there are all sorts of interesting things here to try. Be prepared for a slow read, however. ***

              5 out of 5 stars Turn off the BOOB tube and turn on the BOOBS.......2005-12-15

              Annie Sprinkles very personal heart felt Spectacular Sex Guide inspires us into our sexual potential giving us the tools for sexual transformation. Even if we already have a satisfying sex life there are many interesting exercises here to try. I can relate to Annie's libraries of sexual experience even though I have not taken as many adventures as her. Really folks if some of us turned off our TVs and used that time to further our sexual awareness there would be a great possibility for personal sexual freedom. My favorite quote would be "Don't worry; be horny." Now that this wonderful book has been put on sale there couldn't be a better time to buy it.

              5 out of 5 stars A smart, fun and from the heart read........2005-11-12

              Annie has so much to share and teach us all, and she does it with a sense of fun that is missing from most sexuality books. It is smart, inspiring and truly from the heart. Do yourself a favor and read this book. It just might change your sex life AND your life!

              5 out of 5 stars annie sprinkle is my hero.......2005-10-27

              annies latest book is as brilliant and educational as she is. Her wit and warmth is all over this book and I would recommend it to anyone from sex expert to married couples who need a little spice in their sex life. reading annie is like a session with a friendly sex therapist. she makes everything seem natural and fun.

              5 out of 5 stars A Marvelous Make-Over Inside and Out!.......2005-09-28

              Dr. Sprinkle has done it again! She has succeeded in finding that perfect balance between providing you with solid information and specific steps to achieve a given goal while maintaining her sense of humor and down to earth demeanor. Annie Sprinkle is positively the sweetest PhD. you will ever meet in the pages of a book or in person and her work is completely user friendly. When I am feeling down or jaded by life, Annie's positive attitude never fails to invigorate and inspire. This latest book deserves its own reality TV show! How about it Oprah?

              Book Description

              The private art collection of Mrs. Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza is considered one of the most important in the world. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum has published these two volumes to accompany the permanent exhibition of the International Collection, which includes 345 works of art by Brueghel, de Hooch, Van Goyen, Canaletto, Fragonard, Constable, Corot, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Van Gogh, Monet, Gauguin, Braque, Kandinsky, Nolde, Heckel, Hopper, Picasso, Juan Gris and others. Also included in two the volumes is a selection of works of art from a number of important 19th-century American artists such as Head, Bierstadt, Church, and Bricher. Provided here is a fully documented analysis of the collection, including color illustrations and a summary profile for each work of art, as well as research analyses written by 87 international experts and field specialists. There is an introduction to each chapter written by Javier Arnaldo--the publisher of these volumes, and co-curator at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Volume 1 focuses on art from the 13th to 19th centuries, while Volume 2 looks at art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Combined, these two books feature 960 pages and some 270 beautifully-reproduced full-color images.

              4 out of 5 stars Carmen Thyssen-Bornemixza Collection Vol 1 & 2.......2006-03-09

              After seeing the collection in Madrid a study of Vol 1& 2 were rewarding in so far as each work of art (95% plus ) paintings had an essay regarding the work and aspects of the artists life and style. The paintings in the books and collection were perhaps not typical of the artist they are in deed lovely and worth an art lovers time. These are not coffee table books but give one an opportunity to get a good idea of what Western art is. A. Cinelli, M.D.

              4 out of 5 stars Sisley.......2007-04-12

              I bought this book because I needed some color works of Sisley for my art project. I have to admit that some of the pictures were rather small, while others were 2 pages in detail. This book didn't have some of the pictures I wanted to use, but I managed.

              For those of you who want to know, this book mainly has landscape.

              5 out of 5 stars Siscley.......2000-05-25

              This book was incredible! It had all the information my daughter needed for her art project on him. I loved looking through it too. The pictures were outstanding! I HIGHLY reccomend it to any art lover

              3 out of 5 stars informative.......2000-03-30

              I had to do a report on sisley, and while the book was informative, it was quite lengthly. It did, however, have many good quality pictures. Iwouldn't recommend buying this book unless you really enjoy Sisley, because it took a lot of words to say the little information available on the illusive impressionist.
